The origins of the Bull Terrier

Big Dog — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:14:58 +0000

The Bull Terrier was bred in England in the 19th century, for “entertainment” purposes. After the so popular bullbaits became illegal in England, dog-fights came into fashion. For this, people needed an agil, light, but fearless dog. They needed a dog that could be easily hidden in case the police arrived – so the dog couldn’t be too big. These are the reasons why they started to cross the Old English Bulldog with various Terriers. The breed became extremely popular, the first Bull Terrier Club in England was established in 1887, and one year later, the standards were published. AKC recognized the breed in 1895.

The Bull Terrier is the only recognised breed that has triangle-shaped eyes! It is strange, but true. A very unique character of this very unique dog! The eyes should be well sunken and as dark as possible, with a piercing glint. Their small size and triangle shape is expected according the breed standard. The eyes need to be obliquely placed; set near together and high up on the dog’s head. Blue eyes are a disqualification. Another strange and wonderful fact about this equally strange and wonderful breed.
